Catching Whips (please don't lock)

[Hopesta]

I know I must sound like a total noob here, but can anybody give me some advice on catching whips.
When I ride I wear volleys and they just slide over my griptape.

New griptape/shoes or BMX pedal pins are soooo grippy.

PRACTISE?????? it is easy

It comes with time. dnt strees about it. one day i just realisedd i can catch whips good, i dont really think its something you can learn good.

yeah practice whips
just do them over and over and over and you'll find yourself catching them in no time.

you may have to concentrate on the catch for a little in the beginning, but it will come naturally soon enough

yeah practice makes perfect

Thanks guys, you've been a great help

you dont need skate shoes do catch it. just whip and when you see it under your feet just stomp on the deck or pul the deck to you.

if you whip with you legs open its so much easier, when your whip is 3/4 of the way round put your nearest foot onto the deck and bring it in. practice out of quarters is the best too

You don't need super good grip, I know I could catch whips wearing dress shoes on a scooter with no grip, you just have to get the technique down.

try one-footed and if that doesn't help you improve try to whip it around and pull up when its under your feet http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...=17&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=4
i dont do it like how peasly does it but maybe it worth a shot?

 

[Mike Montgomery]

i learned by waiting till the deck is under my feet and then i pulled up
